Flume plugin doesnt send notifications to Home (IOS or MAC) about homebridge-flume

[bwp91]

Hi @kaduffey could you update to the beta version of the plugin?
Currently the only difference between the version you are running and the beta version is that it will show more detailed entries in the homebridge log.
I really need to see homebridge logs when you are expecting the home app to shout an alert when it isn't currently.
Could you update to the beta and kindly ask your wife to take a long shower and show me all the logs that appear?

[kaduffey]

In ignorance. How do I install the beta via Homebridge UI?

Hi @kaduffey

Please can you (1) change your flume password, (2) update to the new version and (3) let me know when you have done this?

[kaduffey]

I got to the beta and ran a test 2 days ago, the logs are attached in my last message. I reverted to stable Wednesday night when the debug mode was flooding my logs. Why am I changing my PWD? If I look in home+ or Controller I see all the stats, just not alerts.

I advised because your logs contains credentials to allow anyone to log into your account.
The new version redacts this data.
This is why i asked for you to tell me when done

[kaduffey]

hanged, and homebridge restarted with new PWD for Flume You should never be capturing passwords or userid's (client IDs, secrets etc in log). PLease auto redact those or dont log them at all

Yes thank you. I am aware and this why i released a new version of the plugin which does redact this.

I do not own any flume devices but took this plugin on with best intentions

[bwp91]

Your comments have made me realise that I am probably not ideal as a maintainer of this plugin.

Have made a request for this plugin to be pushed to the unmaintained plugins section of Homebridge, and hopefully, someone better equipped can take it over!

[kaduffey]

no worries. No reason to stop. I can be your guinea pig, I do have a gen2 flumeOn Mar 24, 2023, at 6:24 PM, Ben ***@***.***> wrote: Your comments have made me realise that I am probably not ideal as a maintainer of this plugin.

I dont think you should give up. Your response is great, and you fixed what I mentioned. Sorry if I came across strong. Happy to be your tester on my flume. Do they use Flume in England?

[kaduffey]

Looked at this again, and I think I saw the icon flash on/off - I turned off water right after I got the flume based alert? Could it be its only on when the 'leak' is active and doesnt leave a persistent alert? Or perhaps I dont wait long enough for your polling of flume to occur?
